Usage[]
The Rebar Gun is a short-to-mid-ranged, single-shot weapon with high per-shot damage but a slow reload. A shot with the default ammo deals three times the damage of a strike with the 
Xeno-Zapper, making it the second most powerful weapon in terms of damage per hit, only beaten by the 
Nobelisk.
Unlike the hitscan 
Rifle, the Rebar Gun's shots are tracked as projectiles, with both flight time and a ballistic arc. This means the player must compensate for lead and distance at range. The fairly rapid drop of the fired rebars limits the weapon's effective maximum range, meaning it is unable to engage targets at extreme distances as the Rifle can.
Holding R will allow the player to choose between ammunition types. The basic ammo fires a single solid rebar: while this will visibly stick into enemies and terrain, it cannot be retrieved after being fired. The three alternate types are diverse in their functions and make the weapon very flexible: Stun Rebars allow the weapon to paralyze enemies for 5 seconds, dealing minimal damage (5, a third of a standard shot and the same as a single standard Rifle bullet) but allowing the player to finish them off with melee strikes and save ammo, while Shatter and Explosive Rebars respectively convert the Rebar Gun to resemble a shotgun and a grenade launcher.
Shatter Rebar fires a ragged spread of 15 projectiles each of which deal 2 damage, for a total of 30 per shot, double that of a standard shot. Explosive ammo is even more destructive at 50 damage per shot, has a small AoE effect, and also gives the Rebar Gun all the functions of a Nobelisk in terms of destroying scenery and breakable rocks.
Tips[]
- It is possible to equip multiple Rebar Guns, allowing for several shots to be fired before having to pause to reload.
- It is also possble to effectively stunlock high HP enemies with Stun Rebar [Eg. Alpha Hogs] by shooting once, hitting twice with a melee weapon, reloading and repeating.
